Condolences
Add Your OwnMay the thought that Henry no longer is suffering help ease all the emotions you all are feeling.
Cheryl, Brian and Slade,
I am so sorry to hear of Henry's passing. I lost my Mom New Years eve so I know what pain you're all going through.
I just found out about Henry from Mike Lingo. So glad he called or I wouldn't have been able to tell y'all how sorry I am and offer my deepest sympathy to the entire family.
I worked a lot of years with Henry and I liked him a lot. He was a good friend. I think of him and of you Cheryl and I'm glad he was there with you. Henry sometimes could be a little difficult but he was good inside and that's what counts.
I'm sorry I won't be able to attend the funeral because I will be working in Foley, AL. If there's anything I can do for you Cheryl, please don't hesitate to call me. I'm still living in Chipley and have the same number as always. 334 701-4036
Your friend, Bob
Bobbie & family,
You all are in my thoughts and prayers for peace and comfort.
Liz Faulk
Slade and family,
We are so sorry for your loss. Our prayers are with you at this difficult time.
Phillip and Pam Kelley
